By the look of the screws the MAF has never been changed and I haven’t seen it on a bill for the 14 years I have had the car so it stands a good chance of been faulty, especially at 93k miles. A new Bosch MAF is £90, so not too bad if it fixes the problem.
If you did a throttle calibrate then my guess is a MAF issue or a vacuum leak.
But you stated the car ran better with the MAF unplugged so I am leaning towards a bad MAF.

Voltage spec. for MAF key on engine off ...0.9-1.1 volts
Voltage spec. at idle 1.2-1.5 volts.
